Largely because of the mandatory
retirement age of 70 forjudges, eight seats on
the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals are
open for election without incumbents this
year. In five of these races, voters will make
choices in the May 7 primary.
Democrats have two primaries for
Supreme Court and two for the Court of
Appeals. Republicans have a primary for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
In the first Democratic contest' for
Supreme Court, two judges and an attorney
square off. James Exum, a Superior Court
justice for Greensboro, Fred Hedrick, a
Court of Appeals judge, and Rex Frazier, an
attorney from New Bern who was the first
black candidate for lieutenant governor in
the state's history seek an eight-year term.
The contest may go to a runoff primary.
In the second Democratic seat, James
Copeland, a Special (appointed) Superior
Court judge, faces Attorney Eugene Hafer
and Wake Forest law professor James
Webster.
In the GOP spot for Chief Justice, Elreta
Alexander, the first black woman to be
elected a judge in the United States (she
serves on District Court in Greensboro),
faces James Newcombe, a fire extinguisher
manufacturer who is the only non-lawyer
running for any statewide judicial office this
year.
In the first Court of Appeals race, Robert
Martin, a special Superior Court judge, faces
Tom Matthews, a District Court judge from

Rocky Mount, in the Democratic primary.
In the other Appeals post, state Rep.
Gerald Arnold of Lillington faces S. Pretlow
Winborne, a Wake County District Court
judge.
By far the biggest controversy in any of the
judicial races this year has come in the
Exum-Hedrick-Fra7.ier tilt. Hedrick has run
a huge number of billboards across the state,
simply showing himself and his seeing eye
dog Candy. Many of the state's major
newspapers have criticized this as an attempt
for sympathy vote and an avoidance of any
of the issues. N
Exum has been the biggest issuer of press
releases in the campaign. Appointed to the
Superior Court at the age of 32 in I967,
Exum has brought up the only judicial issue
of the race, proposing an "arraignment
court" for non-jury matters, which he says
will save S 1 ,000,000 in fees for idle jurors and
save them time.
Frazier, the third candidate, says he has
been unpopular -with the state's legal
community because of his race, and because
he has been a civil rights and judicial activist.
Frazier says he rejects racial campaigns, but
says his "arrogant and distinguished air
doesn't sit well with whites."
In 1967, Frazier was suspended as an
attorney for twelve months by the State
Supreme Court after he was accused of
mishandling the trust funds of an elderly
black client. .. -

is challenged by a young activist lawyer and a
law professor.
James Copeland, the judge, has served as a
Superior Court judge for over 13 years, first
being appointed by Gov. Terry Sanford. He
has tried cases in 84 of North Carolina's 100
counties. Copeland has also served as a
mayor and state legislator.
Eugene Hafer at 40 is one of the youngest
candidates in the race. From 1970 to 1973, he
headed the Consumer Protection Division of
the Attorney General's Office, a division
which Senate candidate Robert Morgan
proudly displays around the state. Hafer was
a car salesman before entering law school
and later served as a law clerk to Supreme
Court Justice Bobbitt.
Webster, 47, has been active in politics
only once before, as Forsyth County
campaign manager for I. Beverly Lake's
gubernatorial campaign in 1964. Webster
has written two books on real estate law and
has been a private consultant to several
government agencies. He sees his lack of
judicial experience as a non-issue, stating his
career as a law professor more than makes
up for it. He has said publicly that the
Supreme Court judgeship is in reality a
teaching position.
In the only Republican contest, James
Newcombe, a 65-year-old fire extinguisher
manufacturer, is running as a "Christian
Family Man". He is a high school graduate,
points to the fact that the constitution does
not require a judge to be a lawyer and says
the founding fathers left this out deliberately
to allow laymen to serve in the judicial
system.
His opponent, Guilford County District
Judge Elreta Alexander, has issued a leaflet
filled with all the firsts she has had. A
Forgotten campaign
in 17th district
The race for state representative from the
17th House district, which includes Orange
and Chatham counties, has generated little
publicity and no excitement.
Three candidates, including two
incumbents are contesting the two open
seats.
The two incumbents, Trish Stanford Hunt
and Edward Holmes, both elected to the
House for the first time in 1972, are running
against Douglas Holmes, who does not have
experience in an elected office.
Hunt, a guidance counselor at Chapel Hill
High School, has worked hard in the House
for the Equal Rights Amendment and for
statewide kindergartens, while opposing the
death penalty and the food tax.
Her first husband, Donald Stanford,
served two terms as a state representative
from 1966 to 1970 before he died in the fall of
1970.

graduate of Columbia University Law
School, Alexander was the first black
woman admitted to the North Carolina bar.
In 1968. she became the first black woman
judge, and in 1972 was easily re-elected to a
second term.
The winner of the race will face Susie
Sharp, the Democratic nominee, in the
general election. Many state observers
believe Sharp has the edge, because of her
long service on the Supreme Court, but if the
Republicans nominate a black woman, this
may upset some of North Carolina's voting
patterns.
In one of the primaries, experience has
become an issue. Gerald Arnold, a state
representative from Lillington, is
challenging Wake County District Judge S.
Pretlow Winborne. Winborne, a District
Court judge since 1959, has consistnetly
finished ahead of the ticket in Wake County.
He received his law degree from UNC in
1950. Arnold is not a judge, but points out he
has handled many cases before the Court of
Appeals and Supreme Court since 1967.
Arnold recieved his degree from UNC Law
School in 1966.
In the other Appeals battle, two judges
face off against each other. Robert Martin, a
61 year old Special Superior Court Judge
from High Point faces Tom Matthews, 46, a
District Court Judge from Rocky Mount.
Matthews has come out in support of
appointing local court administrators to
help improve iefficiency at the trial court
level. He has served as a judge for 12 years.
Martin is a Wake'Forest Law grad. and
was appointed to the bench in 1967. He cites
the many state bar and judicial committees
he has served on, including the pattern jury
instruction committee.
Ed Holmes, also trying for his second
term, is an attorney from Pittsboro. Ed
Holmes also was in favor of the Equal Rights
Amendment, and opposed the death penalty
and the food tax. In general, their voting
records have been very similar.
Doug Holmes, a resident of Chapel Hill, is
a graduate student in the school of business
administration. Doug Holmes ran for mayor
of Chapel Hill twice, in 1971 and in 1973,
losing decisively both times.
Doug Holmes has come out in favor of the
legalization of marijuana. He is opposed to
liquor-by-the-drink.
Hunt and Ed Holmes have an advantage
in that, being incumbents, they are well
known outside of Chapel Hill, while Doug
Holmes is not. All three have done little
campaigning, and there are no issues to
speak of.
No primaries
in some races
A number of offices have no primaries
because only one candidate filed. Orange
County Clerk of Superior Court Frank
Frederick has no opposition. Democratic or
Republican, for his third term, and Register
of Deeds Betty June Hays has no opposition
from either party for her fifth four-year term.
Superior Court Judge J. Marsch
McClellan, appointed in 1973, also has no
opposition in either party in his bid for a
four-year term.
